"in my home county"
Jeff,
I am very familiar with Metter, Cobbtown, Vidalia, Lyons, Portal, Claxton, etc. I used to have very good customers in Metter.
Do you know the Petersons....Charles to be exact? He owned a sewing factory there...Metter Manufacturing. Gone, as they all are, now.
Also a Bill Fonderin was plant manager for the Argo factory across the street for a while. Metter is his home town.
Georgia and South Carolina were awesome states for apparel textile companies.
